Bahot bhaddde tareeke se kuch chezon kokaha gya hai. Jo bilkul galat hai. Freedom of speech sabhi ko hai, lekin humarri freedom wahi samapt ho jaati hai jahan hum kisi aur ke freedom par encorach karte hain. Aur iss prakar ka encroachment theek nai hai. Mujhe lagta hai Abhivyakti iski bhi koi maryaada hai. Humne asheelta ke bhi kuch neeyam tayaar kiye hain, agar unko koi paar karta hai toh bahot galat baat hai. Agar aisi koi baat hoti hai toh uspe kaarwaayi honi chahiye.
Speaking on the lines, the CM said, “Bahot bhaddde tareeke se kuch chezon kokaha gya hai. Jo bilkul galat hai. Freedom of speech sabhi ko hai, lekin humarri freedom wahi samapt ho jaati hai jahan hum kisi aur ke freedom par encorach karte hain. Aur iss prakar ka encroachment theek nai hai.” Adding to this he stressed that freedom of speech should not be misused and if such a thing happens then strict action should be taken. He added, “Humne asheelta ke bhi kuch neeyam tayaar kiye hain, agar unko koi paar karta hai toh bahot galat baat hai. Agar aisi koi baat hoti hai toh uspe kaarwaayi honi chahiye.”
Ever since the clips from the latest episode made their way online, social media users have been demanding to boycott the show and ban the YouTuber. Many even alleged that since the show is available on YouTube it is easily accessible to young children under the age of 18 despite the content not being relevant for them. Taking this into cognizance, the Hindu IT cell filed a complaint with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting against Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia for promoting ‘obscenity’.
Furthermore, as per sources, NCPCR will take cognizance in the matter and a complaint has already been filed at the Mumbai Commissioner and also the Maharashtra Women’s Commission.
